Integrate Your POS System with 7shifts

Integrating your POS with 7shifts increases operational efficiency by consolidating sales and labor data. This connection allows 7shifts to generate labor insights, automate tip calculations, and streamline payroll processing. By syncing your systems, you can identify peak hours and trends to optimize staffing levels and labor percentages.
 

Things to know

• Admins have full access to integration settings.
• Managers and Assistant Managers require the 'Can manage integrations' permission to manage mappings.
• Integration and Time Clocking settings must be managed in the 7shifts web app. These settings are not supported on the mobile app.
• Sales-only integrations (like Silverware or Clover) do not sync labor or punch data.
• If your POS does not support labor syncing, you can use 7punches for integrated time clocking.
   

Key benefits

🧡 Managers love it because they can stay informed with access to Sales/Labor dashboards, offering valuable daily and hourly insights into the restaurant's performance. Additionally, Managers can view, edit, and approve punched directly in-app, providing a convenient way to manage employee labor data.

🧡 Employees love it because they enjoy more control over their time punches. A labor integration allows them to easily view their hours worked and declared tips within the app. With Employee Approval of Time Punches they can approve and dispute their hours - boosting the accountability of tracking work hours. Meanwhile, Tip Pooling further enhances their understanding of their compensation by offering a breakdown of their tips into earnings.

Whether it's scheduling conflicts, overtime alerts, or alerts for missed punches, 7shifts  keeps you in the loop so you can address issues proactively and keep your restaurant running smoothly.

Labor Data to Direct Pay.

Integrations lay the groundwork for unlocking additional features that save you time and money, such as automatic Tip Pooling and Tip Payouts, to help ensure fair distribution of tips/earnings among your team. Take it even further by syncing this information directly into 7shifts Payroll, or your payroll of choice.

Moreover, integrating your labor data that information into user-friendy reports like the Worked Hours and Wages report, Actuals report, Attendance report, Timesheet report, Punch Audit report, and more.
